All Kinds of Journeys

  • Commuting is a key part of life in the city and these headphones will be a good partner while you're on the move.
  • On train trips sometimes you'll need to zone out from the sounds of other passengers. The Sony helps achieve this with its "closed-back" ear-piece design. Also, it's got noise cancelling features to help you tune out even more.
  • On flights, time can pass quite slowly which is why these Sony headphones will come in handy for distracting yourself during your journey. To help cope with the noises around you, these headphones come with noise cancelling features. Since it's foldable, it's much easier to fit into your bags..

For producing creative work

  • DJ work requires great headphones and the specs on the Sony MDR-XB950N1B BT 4.1 22hrs Black such as the 40 cm driver unit size makes it suitable for your needs.

Various Audio Content Types

  • Audio books which would require listening to warm sounds with an emphasis on the vocals.
  • Music which would require a headphone with really good sound reproduction. This is typically helped by the sizeable diameter of the audio driver component built into the earpiece.
  • Video content in order to enjoy your choice of movies, series and shows.
  • Radio which requires reasonable quality output for you to enjoy mixes, news and shows from your favourite stations.
  • Gaming audio in order to fully enjoy the sound effects and rousing music while playing on your PC or console.
  • Podcasts for fun, knowledge and entertainment.
